Collect for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

The Word of God

O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab with his officers and all Israel with him; they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. It happened, late one afternoon, when David rose from his couch and was walking about on the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; the woman was very beautiful. David sent someone to inquire about the woman. It was reported, “This is Bathsheba daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” So David sent messengers to get her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself after her period.) Then she returned to her house. The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the people fared, and how the war was going. Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and wash your feet.” Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a

First Lesson 2 Samuel 11:1-15present from the king. But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “You have just come from a journey. Why did you not go down to your house?” Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah remain in booths; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field; shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing.” Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day. On the next day, David invited him to eat and drink in his presence and made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, so that he may be struck down and die.”

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

The fool has said in his heart, “There / is no God.” * All are corrupt and commit abominable acts; there is none who / does any good.The LORD looks down from heaven u / pon us all, * to see if there is any who is wise, if there is one who / seeks after God.Every one has proved faithless; all alike have / turned bad; * there is none who does / good; no, not one.Have they no knowledge, all those evil / doers * who eat up my people like bread and do not call u / pon the LORD?See how they tremble with / fear, * because God is in the company / of the righteous.Their aim is to confound the plans of the af / flicted, * but the LORD / is their refuge.Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come out of / Zion! * when the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and I s / rael be glad.

I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with

Second Lesson Ephesians 3:14-21all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.Glory to you Lord Christ

Gospel John 6:1-21

Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?” Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were

satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.” So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.” When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Prayer after Communion

Page 9: Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville: Bulletin for July 26, 2015

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Guests,

Jesus reaches deep and feeds everyone in the Gospel today. That is a good image for him and one that was formative for the early church. Think about ways you might be shaped by his display of hospitality and grace. Think about ways we can broaden our horizon and reach. Think about ways we can do more with what we have—and create a welcoming presence for all who are among us and all who are around us.

How about one of these ways?

• Plan to get a SNEAK PEAK AT SUNDAY SCHOOL for our children and youth in August, and while you are at it, look for ways to help our children, youth and families feel welcomed here. Read more about our SNEAK PEAK on page 3.

• Make laundry a possibility for folks who have a hard time budgeting for that in the face of other more pressing expenses. Read more about LAUNDRY LOVE on page 4.

• Pick a weekday and be part of a Midday Mass or Evening Prayer. These are excellent ways to deepen your faith and to provide a warm space for others to do the same. Read more about that on page 2.

• Consider contributing to REBUILD THE CHURCHES FUND which has been established by our sister, Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis to help rebuild congregations torched in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia this past month or so. Read more about that on page 4.

I will be away this week and next, but call (502-632-3213) if you have a pastoral need—I can find someone to help. Your guest Celebrant and Preacher for next Sunday will be the Rev’d Fr. Edgar Wallace. There will also be an all-star cast of priests these two weeks for Midday Mass—read more about that on page 2.

I’m glad you are here today

Faithfully,The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

we prayOf note this week — Midday Mass update

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summerEnriching Our Worship (EOW),is a Eucharistic Prayer produced by the National Church Standing Liturgical Commission in 1998, and later approved for use by General Convention. It will not be new to you, because the Cathedral has used it before. In EOW, you will recognize the familiar shape of the Eucharistic prayer that we hear every Sunday: the Sursum Corda (‘the Lord be with you; and also with you’ ...), the Sanctus (‘Holy, holy, holy’ ...) and the Great AMEN. If you have not experienced EOW, you might enjoy its simplicity.

Evening PrayerMonday - Friday, 6 p.m. in the Chapel. Evening Prayer is on break this week, but will return Monday, August 10.Be sure to thank your Evening Prayer Officiants: Paul Real, Rite II Evening Prayer, Monday; Mildred Payne, Rite II Evening Prayer, Tuesday; Aaron Angel, Rite II Evensong, Wednesday; Keith Stevenson, Rite I Evening Prayer, Thursday; the Dean, Rite II Evening Prayer, Friday.

Blessing of the Bags On Sunday, August 16, we will bless our book bags—as well as all the bags that make up our life (purses, backpacks, briefcases, golf bags, etc). Bring your bags—and maybe an extra backpack that we can send to someone who needs it.

Stewardship NotesWe are blessed and we can BE a blessingThe Cathedral has received 88 pledges, totaling $300,600. That represents: • 33 increased pledges • 14 new pledges • 33 pledges with no change • 8 pledges with decreases

The goal remains 100 percent participation. If you have not registered your intention to give to God through Christ Church Cathedral, there’s still time. No amount is too large and no amount is too small. They all make a difference. If you have questions, this handy Q and A might help:

How do I get a Pledge Card?There are Pledge Cards in the Narthex, at the south door, and at the office table. Just ask if you can’t find one.

How can I submit a Pledge Card? You may mail in your Pledge Card, place it in the offering basin as it is passed any Sunday morning, or you may give it to a member of the Chapter, the Finance Committee, or to the Dean.

How can I help even more?You can continue to pray with us. Try these words: God of infinite blessing, when you fashioned the world the morning stars sang together and the host of heaven shouted for joy; open our eyes to the wonders of your creation and teach us to use all things for good, that we may be blessed and be a blessing so that all may live in your abundance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CALENDAR Why do we pray, study, work, listen and build?Benedict, the father of Benedictine spirituality, suggested that our life is best balanced between prayer, study, and work. We have taken that challenge as the basis of our common life together at Christ Church Cathedral:

We pray (worship and the arts). We study (spiritual formation). We work (service to others).

In addition, we know that we are sustained by our life together, and that works best when we listen to one another. We also aim to build and maintain a structure that will support all of our ministry efforts. And so:

We listen (cathedral life and fellowship), We build (administration).

In Cathedral Matters, you will find information about ministry opportunities at the Cathedral which fit into all five of these areas.
